Been a long, strange week

Maybe I picked the wrong time to try to increase blog posting frequency...

So, last week I got called in to work Monday, and ended up working all parts of the store except softlines (clothes) and Food Avenue (in-store café). That included pharmacy and electronics, which was fun.

Then, on Wednesday, I was scheduled for an eight hour shift in softlines, where men almost never work (and are certainly never trained). Fortunately, it was a quiet night so I had few opportunities to screw up, so that went well. I did the best I could, which is more than some guys have done when thrown into softlines. I recall one guy getting so angry that he spent his entire shift hiding/hanging out in other areas of the store, just talking/complaining to other employees.

I'm scheduled for closing shifts for most of the holiday season. This is fine, except for the way that my brain insists on waking up at around 7:00 AM after working until 12-1 AM the night before. Yeesh.
